wwh>remember the distinctions that have been made between the first and second persons. "I will" to me is stronger than "I shall". "Thou shalt" is stronger than "you will", unless the "will" is really emphasized.
Bill - that's what I always thought (and mostly still do), except for that Ten Commandments thing - I've been studying more on the 613 Mitzvot, so it was fresh in my mind which is why I brought it up. Ordinarily, I would have just agreed with the 'I will' part, but now, I'm not so sure. More thinking and perhaps examples would be helpful on this one!
